Following the collision of two ships MT Dawn Kancheepuram and MT Maple, a disastrous amount of oil spilled into the sea. Initially, the Kamarajar Port officials declined of any such accidents but the accident couldn't be kept in the dark as the spilled heavy furnace oil landed on the seashore of Ennore and all up to Thiruvanmiyur beach polluting a coastal line of 24 km.

Speaking on the issue, Tamil Nadu Fisheries Department Minister Jayakumar said that about 60 tonnes of sludge has been collected by volunteers from the affected coastal zone.

"Close to 1,500 volunteers were involved in this process. Thankfully the spill was not inside the sea and the boulder placed on the shoreline helped out in accumulating the oil," stated Jayakumar who also informed that 85 per cent of the operation is complete and the rest of 20 tonne sludge will be removed in the next two days.
